Coffee Break: Hutton Medium Tote
ShopBop has some great new markdowns on their designer and contemorary collections, including this lovely Rachel Zoe tote. I like it in the “dark mint,” but it’s also available in “French Beige” and black. It seems much more like a briefcase than a tote, though, and at 16 inches long, 12 inches high, and 6 … Read More about Coffee Break: Hutton Medium Tote

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. Brooks Brothers has some great sales going on in their Black Fleece section.

When I posted the Sophie Theallet circle skirt in this same fabric, I liked the belt then; that’s a rarity with me because I never like the belt things come with. It turns out, The Limited likes the belt so much that they’re selling it by itself. It’s $49.90, available in sizes S, M, and … Read More about Coffee Break: Fabric Collar Button Belt
